When I switched, I was paying ~ 24 (taxes in) for the second line, and ~20
for the ISP service, total ~ 44.

Rogers VIP added 2-3 to my cable bill, legitimizing my extra jacks in the
process and giving me a 10% at Rogers video where I go anyway, and reduced
the cost of @home by 10%.

Seemed like a fair trade to me.

Harder to justify, though, if you don't have a second line.
